An initial survey of medical information resources in New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, Australia, reveals a lack of adequate collections, insufficiently trained staff, few formal lines of communication between service providers, and paucity of mechanisms to ensure user awareness of available services. Detailed proposals are provided for six pilot studies intended to provide more extensive information to guide regional medical information resource planning in Australia. Studies proposed are (1) information flow in hospitals, (2) core collections for Australian hospital libraries, (3) design for a course for hospital library clientele, (4) design for a course for untrained hospital library staff, (5) experimental regional inter-library loan center, and (6) experimental regional information unit. The bibliography contains 90 items related to medical information services planning. (STS)
